'Familiar Voices' is an independently financed, feature length, non-profit documentary covering reactions to the ongoing crisis in Darfur. Its purpose is to empower, not overwhelm, its audiences; to engage those audiences in a respectful dialogue, rather than wagging its finger at them; and to help those audiences clearly understand their relationship to this crisis. Through voices and visuals connected with Nobel Peace Prize winners, soldiers, Darfuri refugees, celebrities, humanitarian aid workers, politicians, university level (and fifth-grade) activists, and others, old messages regarding responsibility and hope are delivered in new ways - ones that are direct, concrete, and accessible. It includes: interviews throughout the U.S. and Canada; protests throughout the U.S.; and footage from South Darfur, Eastern Chad, and the Central African RepublicDirector, Producer - Danny MendozaExecutive Producer: Mimi BeltExecutive Producer: William J.
